William continued: “There’s not many days that go by that I don’t think of her, you know – sometimes sad, sometimes very positively.

“You know, I have a smile every now and again when someone says something and I think that’s exactly what she would have said, or she would have enjoyed that comment.

“So they always live with you people you lose like that. And my mother lives with me every day.”

He added in the revealing interview: “There’s not a day that William and I don’t wish that she was still around, and we wonder what kind of a mother she would be now, and what kind of a public role she would have, and what a difference she would be making.

“You know, and of course as a son I would say this, she was the best mum in the world.”

She had naughty moments and would have been an “absolute nightmare” as a grandmother, Prince William joked.
